Detail
Specifies how detailed the created
embroidery pattern will be. Selecting a
setting closer to Fine creates more
details in the pattern and increases the
number of stitches. (The stitches will
overlap)
Run Pitch
Sets the sewing pitch. The pattern is
created with this setting value as the
minimum length. When the value is
lowered, the sewing pitch will be
shortened, resulting in finer stitching.
